Calretinin containing elements were visualized with immunocytochemistry in the adult mouse dentate gyrus (DG). In the ventral DG calretinin immunoreactive (CR-IR) large multipolar cells were clustered; they extended between two and four thick cylindrical dendrites which further branched into several thinner processes. Characteristic grape like spiny appendages were occasionally observed on these thick and thinner dendritic processes. On the basis of these structural features these large CR-IR… CONTINUE READING
